Unfortunately, that wasn't the case this visit. We were seated for 30+ minutes and no one even handed us a menu, much less offered us water or a glass of wine. While we were waiting, two other tables walked out because they hadn't even gotten drinks either. I understand holiday weekends are busy and places can be short staffed, but when you know you're going to be slammed, employees should be prepared to handle it professionally instead of taking their frustration out on paying customers. I don't need to hear about staffing issues -- I just needed basic service. Sadly, this experience was enough that I won't be coming back.

Waitress says, "we are out of fried shrimp." Miscommunication or not hearing led to two small pieces of extra fish and no shrimp at all . And extra waiting . No refills except when we asked and sat for another 15 mins after finishing to get our bill. I ended up walking to the register and asked for the bill. They did give us credit for the fish and shrimp platter but tried to charge us for pickle chips we didn't get. More miscommunication. Everything culminated into a very frustrating visit.

Its perfectly constructed with just the exact amount of lettuce, tomato, mayo and excess bacon on toasted garlic bread. Served with fries that can be delicious or overly spiced; I guess the chefs mood. My only complaint is their hours, which is why I usually get it delivered. To me they close too early (although I have to keep reminding myself this is Rockport), and I never seem to have the right day. But its all good, because when I do have it I savor it.

We stopped midday on a recent road trip to this small town burger spot with 50s diner charm and friendly people. Just off the freeway a bit, this is a great place for a tasty meal, ice cream dessert or snack pleaser We enjoyed some fried pickles while we waited for our tortilla burgers ( we added avocado). The pickle chips and ranch dressing was good but a little too salty for my liking. The tortilla burger was a veggie loaded cheesy smashed beef burger in two fried tortillas. Greasy but good. Fall all apart but finger-lickability. With a side of hot fries, this filled us up quickly. But not too full to not partake in an ice cream shake for the road. Needless to say, we couldn't move for a good two hours but we felt great having a bucket list item checked and a satiated palate.

Grouper was nicely seasoned, grilled and served with a yummy sauce. I think prices are reasonable for the coastal area. We would have paid double for that fish meal at Pappadeaux's back in Austin.

As the Chief Funding Officer for the trip, I wasn't looking too forward to this one. The food sounded great. The drinks sounded great. The prices? They seemed a little inflated compared to other restaurants on the island. It was, however, a bit more upscale. Once again, I can not tell you what everyone had. Our very talented and experienced server rattled off some amazing sounding specials, and I know some of them were selected. I chose the shrimp and grits. That is one of my favorite shrimp dishes thanks to my sister in law who makes a wonderful version of them. When the server told me these would be the best I had ever tried, I told him that I would be the judge and would measure them against hers. What I was served as shrimp and grits was nothing like I expected. Tortuga's makes a batch of very flavorful grits, puts them in a loaf pan, chills them, slices them, and fries them. Then they top those with perfectly cooked shrimp in an amazingly delicious sauce. The entire dish was absolutely stunning, but I still won't call that "shrimp and grits". Sarah, you're still number one. Most of the family had a craft cocktail or two with the meal. When I saw the bill, I was just a bit shocked that it was so high. But in all honesty, as a vacation opener, it was more than worth it. It was so good that we planned to come back for the brunch later during the trip. We didn't because the brunch time didn't fit in with the baby's schedule. Oh... one last thing. My son and I shared a dozen and a half fresh oysters on the half shell. They were truly delicious. However, they were the tiniest little oysters I have ever been served.They were also very gritty with several pieces of shell in them. If I had seen them first, I would never have paid $36 a dozen for them. I wish I had a photo. I'll ask my son if he got one and add it later, if he did.

I had called 30 mins prior but they do not do reservations but I gave them my info over the phone anyway. Upon arrival, I did get seated rather quickly with my group of 8, but that's not why I took off 2 stars. This would have been a 3.5 star restaurant because the food was good when it finally came out, but the key word is finally. Once we ordered, it took about 1 hour for the food to even come out. For a small breakfast restaurant this is just ridiculous. We saw 2-3 other tables that arrived after us that received their food. It tells me they either only have 1 person in the kitchen, or they're not prepared for a Sunday crowd. Either way, they're were not prepared. Our group ordered both lunch and breakfast items but based on the foods that were coming from the kitchen, they chose to only cook the breakfast items and bring those to other tables. I chose the chicken fried steak since the menu indicated it was hand-breaded. I picked Texas toast as my bread, and green beans and mashed potatoes as my sides, expecting them to be basically canned and powdered potatoes. The sides ended up being fresh green beans cooked well done with caramelized onions which were very flavorful. The potatoes were homemade as well with cream gravy, but needed some additional seasoning. The rest of my group loved their food too, as all 7 other plates were cleaned with no food left. Just when we thought we were in the clear it was time to pay. Well, that didn't go all that well either. Our waitress was busy bringing orders out and catering to another newly seated table and going back and forth to the kitchen getting them anything and everything to go along with their meal, meanwhile we had our check ready and she bypassed our table 2-3 times and didn't look our way. I didn't want to be rude since she was nice, but she was in over her head and beyond busy apparently. Three stars is being nice here, but we did like the food....so that's their saving grace.
